Recent advances in nonlinear optics for bio-imaging applications
Journal Title: Opto-Electronic Advances - Year 2020, Vol 3, Issue 10
Abstract
Nonlinear optics, which is a subject for studying the interaction between intense light and materials, has great impact on various research fields. Since many structures in biological tissues exhibit strong nonlinear optical effects, nonlinear optics has been widely applied in biomedical studies. Especially in the aspect of bio-imaging, nonlinear optical techniques can provide rapid, label-free and chemically specific imaging of biological samples, which enable the investigation of biological processes and analysis of samples beyond other microscopy techniques. In this review, we focus on the introduction of nonlinear optical processes and their applications in bio-imaging as well as the recent advances in this filed. Our perspective of this field is also presented.

Visual tracking based on transfer learning of deep salience information
In this paper, we propose a new visual tracking method in light of salience information and deep learning. Salience detection is used to exploit features with salient information of the image. Complicated representations...
10-GHz broadband optical frequency comb generation at 1550/1310 nm
The generation of high-repetition rate (frep ≥ 10 GHz) ultra-broadband optical frequency combs (OFCs) at 1550 nm and 1310 nm is investigated by seeding two types of highly nonlinear fibers (HNLFs) with 10 GHz picosecond...
Single-pixel terahertz imagiang: a review
This paper is devoted to reviewing the results achieved so far in the application of the single-pixel imaging technique to terahertz (THz) systems. The use of THz radiation for imaging purposes has been largely explored...
Iterative freeform lens design for prescribed irradiance on curved target
Current freeform illumination optical designs are mostly focused on producing prescribed irradiance distributions on planar targets. Here, we aim to design freeform optics that could generate a desired illumination on a...
Demonstration of orbital angular momentum channel healing using a Fabry-Pérot cavity
Orbital angular momentum (OAM) mode division provides a promising solution to push past the already exhausted available degrees of freedom available in conventional optical communications. Nevertheless, the practical dep...
